  2. MOOD • MOOD is the overall feelings or emotions that are created IN THE READER. • Authors “move” their readers’ moods through their choice of words and level of detail.

  3. TONE • TONE is simply the author’s attitude toward the subject. • You can recognize the tone/attitude by the language/word choices the author uses. • Tone must be inferred through the use of descriptive words.

  4. Imagery • An image is language that describes something that can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled.

  5. Theme • This is what the poem is all about. • The theme of the poem is the central idea that the poet wants to convey. • It can be a story, or a thought, or a description of something or someone - anything which is what the poem is all about.

  6. Sight • The sun’s beams shimmered and danced on the ocean’s gentle waves.

  7. Smell • The fragrant roses drifted through the room like elusive ghosts.

  8. Sound • Although they could not see outside the cabin, they could hear the eerie tapping, tapping, tapping, of his knife upon their door.

  9. Taste • The cheesecake’s exquisite flavor traveled from his tongue to his spine.

  10. Touch • The icy breeze gently brushed against the hair on her neck, and goose-bumps shortly followed.
